Comment on The Nifty MiniDrive - SD slot hack for the Macbookparent

Comments

So you can get that same feature (smaller size) for cheaper elsewhere? If so than it is ridiculous, but if not than it is only overpriced if people are not willing to pay for it. As with all startups, to get customers start by solving an actual problem (I use the SD slot all the time, but hate having it stick out)

There are some slightly uglier but cheaper alternatives for Raspberry Pi users that want a lower-profile SD card. They might be too thick for a Mac's SD slot though.

There's a $12 version on Kickstarter now: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/443556734/pio-microsd-ad...

Adafruit will also offer a similar one soon: http://www.adafruit.com/products/966

Well If it was me I would go the uglier cheaper way as long as it does the job.
